I am packing my bag for my show in Los Angeles this weekend and I want to make sure I am not forgetting anything. I have my posing trunks and my tanning kit but I am wondering what else I should bring for the backstage area. I have heard it can be a long day of waiting around.

My list currently includes a portable fan rice cakes with honey for the pump and some loose dark clothing. I am also bringing some resistance bands for my backstage pump and a spare bottle of posing oil. Is there anything else that you consider a must have item?

I am thinking about bringing a yoga mat so I have somewhere comfortable to lay down between the prejudging and the finals. If you have any pro tips for show day essentials please share them here. I do not want to be the guy asking everyone else for spare safety pins or a mirror.
